The smart home is finally becoming an actual thing

The smart lock, a form of keyless lock has become a big part of the smart home movement. It’s seen as an integral part of intelligent home security systems.

But what is the keyless lock and how do they work? As the name implies, a smart lock is an electronic lock that uses fingerprint or password, smart card, remote control to unlock the door. One of the neat features of smart locks is that you can send temporary password to people, giving them access to your home within a mechanical key. It’s perfect if you need a friend or relative to pop in and feed the cat while you’re away - you just text them a password as a key and they can use the temporary password to open the lock. Then once you return, you can make the password becomes invalid. Your choice of system may be dictated by several factors, including the all-important price tag.
